Tipperary Sinn Fein to only put forward female candidiates

It appears 3 of the 4 Sinn Fein Councillors in Tipperary will not be put forward for selection to contest in the next general election.

Party headquarters have informed them that they have decided to only accept nominations from female candidates.

The male councillors in the county say that while they’re disappointed – they’ll support whoever’s chosen.
